All of these effects can be successfully performed by a complete beginner almost immediately. Please, do yourself justice though, read through the book several times and practice by speaking out loud. If you do this, I promise – you will be baffling your mates and literally be the star attraction of any party of club you go to! I have written the instructions as concisely as possible. It has taken me a long time to work through countless magic books in order to provide this information – I’ve done the hard work for you, so the last thing I wanted to do is over complicate things with unnecessary information. For each trick, I have explained the Effect, the Basic Secret and then a Full Methodology which will allow you to amaze whoever you perform on. Each of the main tricks has a full script you can use when performing. Feel free to change it to suit your needs. The words in (italic brackets) explain what you should Make money Selling Ebooks Click here for details! Make money Selling Ebooks Click here for details! be doing whilst reading the script. The Invisible Touch: Although Derren Brown did not invent the principle for this effect, you will have seen this perform this trick with ‘the twins’ and also ‘the lap dancers’ in his TV show. It is a classic trick of mentalism any completely impromptu. You can do this at any time and I’ve personally freaked a lot of people out whilst doing this at clubs and parties. If you want an effect to build a reputation on – read on! Basic Effect You ask 2 friends if they would take part in a psychological test with you. You ask one of them to close their eyes. Whilst their eyes are closed you tap their friend on the hand twice. You then ask the person with their eyes closed to open their eyes and ask them if they felt anything. They will swear that they felt two taps on their hand – even though you were nowhere near them… in fact you could even be stood the other side of the room. The person with their eyes open will be amazed that their friend felt your touch even though she KNOWS you didn’t go near her. The person with their eyes closed will be so positive that she felt 2 solid taps that initially she simply won’t believe that you were nowhere near her! When everybody else watching confirms that you indeed did not touch her – the 2 friends, plus everyone else in the room will be amazed! Make money Selling Ebooks Click here for details!

Each of the friends thinks that the ‘psychological test’ is happening at a different time. You ask Friend 1 to close their eyes, then secretly tap their hand as you are moving towards Friend 2. After a few seconds, you dramatically (but silently) tap Friend 2. Finally you ask Friend 1 to open their eyes. The trick is complete. Full Methodology (You need to find two friends, who are willing to take part in the trick. In this case I have called the friends Amy and Kate. You should stand with Amy to your right, and Kate to your left. Do not make position obvious, it only needs to be approximate.) You: Would you two like to take part in a quick little psychological test with me? I've been practicing something and want to see if it works? Friends: Yes, OK. You: Great! Basically I’ve been reading this psychology book and its talking about how twins have been reported to have extra close bonds between them – you know, they know what each other are thinking, or can feel what each other are feeling. You’ve heard of that right? Friends: Yes You: Anyway, I’ve been reading this paper about how this link can be created between two friends by a third person like me if I can get you to think ‘in sync’ with one another. What’s you names bye the way? Friends: Amy and Kate. You: OK Amy, what I want you to do is just stand still and completely relax. I want you to look around the room and think about everything your seeing, exactly how you think Kate would see it. (Now you should talk about things which are actually in the room, for example if your in a bar you should talk ask Amy to consider what Amy would think about the music, the bar service etc, etc. What you say specifically here is unimportant – but it creates a decoy for the real method..) You: Amy, I want you to close your eyes and completely relax. For the next minute or so I would like you to only give me one word answers – is that ok? Amy: Yes You: Amy, I want you to concentrate very hard remember if you feel anything touch you. I’m going to lift you arm up in a moment, but after that – if you feel anything, anywhere I want you to remember it. Is that clear? Amy: Yes (At this point you should lift Amy’s left arm with your left hand, so that her hand hovers around waist height. Let your right hand remain casually by your side. Once you have done this let your left hand return to your side, leaving Amy’s hand ‘hovering’.) Make money Selling Ebooks Click here for details! Make money Selling Ebooks Click here for details! You: Kate! Watch this! (As you say this, you should hold your index finger of your left hand up between your face and Kate’s, and look Kate right in the eye. At the same time you should turn your body in Kate’s direction and take a step away from Amy. As you do this, allow your 4 th finger or your right hand to tap Amy’s hand twice. With a little practice, you saying “Kate! Watch this!” combined with you holding your other hand up and looking her in the eye means that Kate and everybody else watching will not see you tap Amy. You should make the tap as fluid as possible. I keep my hand moving all the time and simply stick out my 4 th finger twice as my hand moves close to Amy’s.) (At this point, silently, dramatically and deliberately, grab Kate’s hand and tap it in exactly the same place, as you did Amy. Up until this point Kate and the audience believe that no-one has been tapped. This is the dual reality in play, they will think that it is now that Amy is feeling taps… not 10 seconds earlier.) You: Amy, could you open you eyes please. I hope this has worked; I’ve only managed to do it a couple of times so far. Did you feel anything at all? (It’s important to be unsure of the result. This will stop people thinking that it is just a trick, and that you really are performing a psychological miracle.) Amy: Yes You: What did you feel? Amy: Taps You: How many taps did you feel? Amy: 2 You: Where did you feel them? Amy: On my hand (At this stage Amy will probably point to the exact point, if not you can further question her.) You: Well I’m very happy! It worked! I actually didn’t touch you at all! (At this point the true level of the effect becomes apparent, Amy will insist you touched her, but EVERYONE else in the room will be positive that you never went near her hand! People will ask you to do it again, be careful – until you are very practiced at the secret tap, a good observer might be able to spot it!) Closing Notes That is the basic methodology that I use when I perform the trick. I have performed it 100s of times and providing I only do it once per person, I never get caught out. Feel free to adapt the script to suit your style. Instead of a ‘psychological test’ you could claim that you have ‘psychic powers’ which let you touch people from a distance. Remember, in the script above I suggested moving just a step away from the person who’s eyes are closed. There is nothing to stop you walking to the other side of the room, just tap them as you turn to walk away! Make money Selling Ebooks Click here for details!

NLP is a recently developed branch on applied psychology and is used extensively in modern sales training courses. Many say that it derives from hypnosis techniques – although it is not hypnosis in itself. Many have also claimed it is a dangerous, manipulative technique which can be used to take advantage of people. In this case, that is exactly what we shall do – take advantage of the sub-conscious signals our eyes give off in every day life! Basic Effect You ask someone to write down 3 different memories they have, on 3 slips of paper. - A memory of an old friend - A memory of a favourite piece of music - A memory of a time they were in pain (like a cut or broken bone.) You ask them to throw away two of the slips of paper, but not letting you see which one they keep. You can then instantly announce just by looking at their eyes which memory they are holding in their hand. Full Methodology NLP includes a system of ‘eye accessing cues.’ These are used to read information about a person through the direction they are looking with their eyes.
